The Facts:
The long and winding road of Gregg Williams has led him back to the NFL and a position with the Tennessee Titans. Williams, the central figure in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, was told Thursday by the league that he has been reinstated and is free to work for the Titans in the role of defensive senior assistant.

"(NFL) Commissioner Roger Goodell today notified Gregg Williams and the Tennessee Titans that Williams' contract with the Titans has been approved and that he has been reinstated," the league said in a statement. ... Williams, suspended indefinitely last offseason, returns to a Titans organization he spent 11 years with from 1990 to 2000. It was unclear if Williams would ever coach again, but Titans HC Mike Munchak knows him well and appears eager to extend the olive branch. As NFL.com's Marc Sessler suggests, the return of Williams to the NFL signals an official end to the bounty mess, but Williams will be watched closely, a challenge the Titans appear willing to take on.
